I made this project because I wanted a way to automatically control the speed of a DC fan according to the temperature read by a LM35 sensor. I had a few problems with the PWM part mainly because the ...

PWM or Pulse Width Modulation has generally been regarded as too complicated for PC fan speed control compared against using rheostats or linear voltage regulators such as the LM317. I present here a ...

Withclosed loop speed control, the fan controller ensures that the fan isrunning at the desired speed by measuring the actual speed and adjustingthe duty cycle accordingly. Here the host specifies the ...

When implementing cooling solutions for electronic equipment, system designers are confronted with a complex set of variables. The cooling requirements are typically dynamic, and ambient temperatures ...

The project illustrates the control of a PC fan speed and using an Arduino microcontroller to read a LM35 temperature sensor. The use of an optocoupler is covered along with Pulse Width Modulation ...
